I suggest to everyone this amazing place. The animation staff ,both Alpitour and International one , are really amazing guys (Pasquale; Peter; Valeria; Alessandro the best for adult activities and Marta and Maira that were so sweet within our kids) the structure is amazing as well and food really nice. What I can say more..an amazing holiday that will remain everytime with me.

A really amazing Holiday

Time spent at this hotel was wonderful. Every room was clean and pretty. You won't get bored! This hotel have so many attractions like pools, little aquapark and bars. But the best of all were animators! Alessandro, Pasquale, Valeria, Maira, Marta, Aza, Petr and Elisabetta. They are the best!

Family trip

Our flight was cancelled on saturday evening, and after having a rubbish stay at our previous hotel we called catcus beach to see if they’d have availability. They did and were more than helpful! We had an amazing room, with breakfast and lunch included. 
We weren’t sure when we would be able to get home and they said we could stay another evening if needed. We booked our new flight that evening, and the management let us stay in our hotel until 6pm and gave us dinner which worked out great! 
Couldn’t recommend them enough, they really made our stressful day a lot better! 
Thank you!

Amazing stay would come again!!!

Nice and clean hotel, delicious food, excellent and friendly staff. I highly recommend it! There are 3 swimming pools and the hotel is located in front of the beach. Ideal for families. I was only with my boyfriend but still I am really satisfied.

Super hotel!!!

Apartment/Room: 

We stayed at cactus beach in junior suite room. We got renovated/new one in 4** block. The apartment is quite small. The second bendroom doesnt have any windows so it’s dark. Also, both bedrooms share same air condition, you cant control them seperately, so each early morning when sun started shining to our window it became hot in our room, but cold in our kids one. We couldnt lower temperature in our room because our kids in another bedroom would freeze. Tv’s in both rooms are old ones, more than half of the channels didnt work. Wifi in the room and all around the area is terrible, barely working, so had to use mobile data. Room cleaning ladies always were knocking our door at 10am though we were still sleeping. One time they came in  the room when we were sleeping. Both bedrooms are seperated by door made from glass so you kind of dont have privacy and noise reduction from kids room.  One plus, that apartment is situated away from pools, bars so it’s not noisy.

Restaurant/bars:

This is the biggest dissapointment. The food is so terrible that i still cant comprehend how 4* hotel can serve such food. I’m not even talking about kids menu, there is nothing to eat for them. But me and my wife couldnt find anything eatable too. Except rice and spaghetti. That’s it. Everything else tastes awful. 

Drinks in the bar is another story, where everything is watered and undrinkable. You can drink only water or soda. 

A la carte restaurant in the beach taverna was refreshing. Food was excellent. 

Having such bad experience with food in main restaurant, we were having our dinners in the restaurants around the hotel. Look up in tripdadvisor for recommended ones, they are cheap and good. Dont pay for all inclusive, it’s not worth it. 

Also the beach has many rocks and is crowded. The guy that collects money for sun beds always forgets if you already paid so comes three times  to you asking if you paid. What a heck. Write down if you cant rememeber..  

Last thing about the animators. I read many people were happy with them, but lets be fear. They sing Adele songs, though they better not, it sounds terrible. In all their shows they beat one of the crew member which is always a woman. They bang her to the wall. Kids lough, yes, but what example you show? That it’s fine to beat girls/womans? 

In any case, i cant compare this stay with any other hotel in crete so maybe this one is not that bad compared to other ones, but i would be happy if people would leave honest opinions next time so  we would have not chose this hotel for our stay based on the reviews in tripadvisor.
